Top power up and part way down

I'm having and issue with my 2003 Z4 top. Surprise!
The car has 47k miles and the top has not been used for a while.
It unlatches fine, but won't power open unless I manually move it about half way. Then it opens and latches fine. Closing it closes fast and without issue.
At first I thought it was the motor issue, as outlined, in so many postings and I bought a motor. I went to my upholstery shop tonight and the tech checked it over and looked down inside and saw no leaks or fluid residue. I live by Seattle, so it's pretty wet here, but not salty roads like the guys out East therefore no corrosion or rust issues.
So, now I'm wondering what the heck could be going on. I read that shipkiller has hydraulic fluid running through his veins an might shed some light on this. All replies are welcome.
Many Thanks,
Bill
